UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

TOILET-SEAT COVER.

Application filed March 26, 1928.

This invention relates to a toilet seat cover, the general object of theinvention being to make the cover so that it will conform to the shapeof a seat having an opening at its front,

5 with a narrow strip connecting the outer edges of the ends of thecover together so that the strip tends to hold the parts of the cover inposition while the cover is on the seat.

This invention also consists in certain other features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawingsand specifically pointed out in tl e appended claim.

in describing my invention in detail, reference will be llitfl to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the sev- 20 eral views, and in whichFigure l is a. front view of a plurality of covers fastened together inthe form of a pad.

Figure 2 is an edge view of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a view of one of the covers detached from its tab.

Figure 4 is a section on line 4-4 of Figure 3.

As shown in these views, each cover 1 is of a shape to engage the uppersurface of a toilet seat, with its front ends spaced apart. The parts ofthe cover are of concavo-convex shape in cross section, as shown inFigure 4, with the outer edge extending below the inner edge, as shownin Figure The front ends of the cover are connected together by a strip2 which holds said ends in alignment with each other and thusfacilitates the handling Serial No. 264,867.

of the cover and the placing thereof on a seat.

A tab 3 is fastened to the rear end of the cover by av pair of strips 4,each strip having a weakened line 5 intermediate its ends so that thecover can be readily detached from the tab. These tabs enable aplurality of the covers to be fastened together in the form of a pad bypassing staples 6 or the like through the tabs, as shown in Figures 1and 2. Each tab has a centrally arranged hole 7 therein so that the padcan be hung on a nail or other suspending means, as shown at 8 in Figure2.

From the foregoing itwill be seen that I have provided a sanitary coverfor a toilet seat which may be fastened together in the form of a padand in which the covers can be readily detached from the pad throughmeans of the weakened lines 5 in the strips 4 which connect the coverswith the tabs.

It is thought from the foregoing description that. the advantages andnovel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that I may make changes in the construction andin the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided thatsuch changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

\Vhat I claim is A toilet seatcover made of paper and formed to fit aseat with its front ends spaced apart, a narrow strip connecting theouter edges of the ends together, said strip having its faces lying in avertical plane whereby it leaves the opening between the ends of theseat unobstructed.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
